We want the coefficient for the electron-photon term to be -e f=0 for neutrino and = 1 for others A -e A Z0 Z0
Consider only the A term: ea1 ea2 gives agreement with experiment. Cf = 2T3 = -1
The following values for the constants gives the correct charge for all the particles.

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD): color forces Only non-zero components of contribute.
To find the final form of the QCD terms, we rewrite the above sum, collecting similar quark “color” combinations.
Note that there are only 8 possibilities: grg - rg The red, anti-green gluon - ggb The green, anti-blue gluon
The gluon forces hold the proton together At any time the proton is color neutral. That is, it contains one red, one blue and one greenquark. proton

Confinement of quarks free quark terms free gluon terms quark- gluon interactions The free gluon terms have products of 2, 3 and 4 gluon field operators. These terms lead to the interaction of gluons with other gluons.

Quark confinement arises from the increasing strength of the interaction at long range. At short range the gluon force is weak; at long range it is strong. This confinement arises from the SU(3) symmetry – with it’s non-commuting (non-abelian) group elements. This non-commuting property generates terms in the Lagrangian density which produce 3-gluon vertices – and gluon loops in the exchanged gluon “propagator”.
